Synopsis

Album Description
The group's long awaited second recording. It evokes a tone that's both lush and atmospheric with delicately orchestrated folk melodies. Songwriter Heather McIntosh refined her sense of arrangement and use of ambience and developed a sophisticated song cycle. She's been a staple of the Athens' music scene for the past decade. She's a classically trained cellist and current member of Circulatory System, Elf Power, and Japancakes, and has also played or recorded with Superchunk, Of Montreal, The Gerbils, and Kevin Ayers.
 

CD Reviews

J. Anzalone | New York, NY | 10/05/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"More experimental than the previous record, Billions of Phonographs, and little bit freer in sound. Phonographs was more tightly orchestrated, but this one goes to more unexpected places. Amongst the Trees & its Response are very strange and disorienting and I feel like I can hear the influence of Will Cullen Hart of Olivia Tremor Control/Circulatory System/assorted E6 projects pretty distinctly in the way the song forms and then slowly unravels and whispers away."
